Margaret was startled to find Lily in the kitchen. “Lily? Why are you here?” Margaret asked, her tone tinged with arrogance. “If you need something, inform Thom to get it for you.” Lily responded gently, “Margaret, I’m sorry, but I don’t need anything. I just wanted to check if you needed any assistance.”
The unexpected encounter left Margaret surprised and perhaps reconsidering her assumptions, as Lily extended a genuine offer of help in the face of initial skepticism.
